I know what its like for your parents to divorce. For my parents divorced when I was around 5-6 years old. I remember playing with my sister outside on my playground when my mom came outside and told us that she wanted to talk to us. So we went inside and my mom and dad were sitting on the couch and she was saying things like Karl and Katherine your dad and I have agreed that things aren’t working out, and other things. But remember I was like 5 or 6 and my sister was 3 years younger than I am. So at first we didn’t get it and we were asking questions like what does that mean, and why. Then when they explained what is happening and what we are doing, I started to cry and then my sister started to cry.
So since when my parents got divorced my dad stayed in Simi Valley and my sister, my mom and I moved to Ventura. But since then my sister and I would go to my dads house every other weekend. At the time (some of you know from experience) That I thought that the world around me was falling apart but in reality it isn’t. Of course there are good and bad things in divorce. Like no one should have to go threw this either your an adult or a kid. And for me one good thing is that if they didn’t divorce then I wouldn’t be here at the best high school on earth, and I wouldn’t have known Ms. Pelfrey and all her weirdness that I could actually relate to. Also I wouldn’t be here making this speech. Thank you.
